〈非正〉 只是,但是 except that; but

In written English, only is usually placed immediately before the word it qualifies. In spoken English, however, you can use stress to indicate what only qualifies, so its position is not so important. 在書面英語中，only 通常直接置于被修飾詞之前。但在口語中，由于可通過重讀指示修飾對象，故其位置并不太重要。

1. （表示比較而言唯一真實、恰當(dāng)或必要的情況）只，只有
You use only to indicate the one thing that is true, appropriate, or necessary in a particular situation, in contrast to all the other things that are not true, appropriate, or necessary.

e.g. Only the President could authorize the use of the atomic bomb...
只有總統(tǒng)才能授權(quán)使用原子彈。
e.g. ...the guidance and discipline that can be provided only by a strong male...
只有強有力的男性才能給予的指導(dǎo)和訓(xùn)練

2. （引出發(fā)生的必要條件）只有…（才）
You use only to introduce the thing which must happen before the thing mentioned in the main part of the sentence can happen.

e.g. The lawyer is paid only if he wins...
只有官司贏了才支付律師費。
e.g. The Bank of England insists that it will cut interest rates only when it is ready...
英格蘭銀行堅持只有條件成熟才會降息。

3. 唯一的；僅有的
If you talk about the only person or thing involved in a particular situation, you mean there are no others involved in it.

e.g. She was the only woman in Shell's legal department...
她是殼牌公司法律事務(wù)部唯一的女性。
e.g. My cat Gustaf was the only thing I had—the only company.
我的貓古斯塔夫是我所有的一切——我唯一的伴侶。

4. （孩子）獨生的,僅有的
An only child is a child who has no brothers or sisters.

When only is used as an adverb, its position in the sentence depends on the word or phrase it applies to. If only applies to the subject of a clause, you put it in front of the subject. Only strong characters can make such decisions. Otherwise, you normally put it in front of the verb, after the first auxiliary, or after the verb be. I only want my son back, that is all.. He had only agreed to see me because we had met before... I was only able to wash four times in 66 days. However, some people think it is more correct to put only directly in front of the word or phrase it applies to. This is the best position if you want to be quite clear or emphatic. It applies only to passengers carrying British passports... She'd done it only because it was necessary. For extra emphasis, you can put only after the word or phrase it applies to. The event will be for women only... I'll say this once and once only.
only 用作副詞時，其在句中的位置取決于它所修飾的單詞或短語。若 only 修飾句子的主語，則置于主語前，如：Only strong characters can make such decisions（只有堅強的人才能作出這樣的決定）。除去此種情況之外，only 通常置于動詞前、第一個助動詞或 be 動詞之后，如：I only want my son back, that is all（我只想要回我兒子，僅此而已），He had only agreed to see me because we had met before（他同意見我只是因為我們以前見過面），I was only able to wash four times in 66 days（我66天才做到洗了4次澡）。但有人認(rèn)為將 only 直接置于它所修飾的單詞或短語之前更恰當(dāng)，這樣可以表達(dá)得更清楚或更具強調(diào)意味：It applies only to passengers carrying British passports（這僅適于持英國護(hù)照的乘客），She'd done it only because it was necessary（只是出于必要她才這樣做的）。若要進(jìn)一步加強語氣，可將only置于它所修飾的單詞或短語之后：The event will be for women only（該活動僅限女性參加），I'll say this once and once only（這件事我就說一次，而且僅此一次。）

5. (尤用于想要糾正錯誤觀點時)只不過，僅…而已
You use only to indicate that something is no more important, interesting, or difficult, for example, than you say it is, especially when you want to correct a wrong idea that someone may get or has already got.

e.g. At the moment it is only a theory...
眼下這只不過是個推測而已。
e.g. 'I'm only a sergeant,' said Clements...
“我只是一名中士，”克萊門茨說道。

6. （強調(diào)數(shù)量少或時間短）才，僅僅
You use only to emphasize how small an amount is or how short a length of time is.

e.g. Child car seats only cost about ￡10 a week to hire.
兒童汽車坐椅一周的租金才10英鎊。
e.g. ...spacecraft guidance systems weighing only a few grams...
僅有幾克重的宇宙飛船導(dǎo)航系統(tǒng)

7. （強調(diào)是其中的一小部分，而非全部）只，僅僅
You use only to emphasize that you are talking about a small part of an amount or group, not the whole of it.

e.g. These are only a few of the possibilities...
這些僅僅是其中幾種可能。
e.g. Only a minority of the people supported the Revolution.
只有少數(shù)人支持這場革命。

8. （用于 can 或 could 之后，強調(diào)除此以外別無可為）只（能）
Only is used after 'can' or 'could' to emphasize that it is impossible to do anything except the rather inadequate or limited action that is mentioned.

e.g. For a moment I could say nothing. I could only stand and look...
我有那么一會兒一句話都說不出來，只能站在那里看著。
e.g. The police can only guess at the scale of the problem.
警方只能猜測問題的嚴(yán)重性。

9. （強調(diào)希望或愿望）唯有，非常
You can use only in the expressions I only wish or I only hope in order to emphasize what you are hoping or wishing.

e.g. I only wish he were here now that things are getting better for me...
現(xiàn)在我的境況好轉(zhuǎn)了，我真希望他能在這里。
e.g. We can only hope that the elephants can recover.
我們唯有希望這些大象能夠康復(fù)。

10. （用于表示稍加改動或限定）只是，不過
Only can be used to add a comment which slightly changes or limits what you have just said.

11. （用于含有 would 的從句后，引出未做某事的原因）要不是，若非

e.g. He raced through the living room, only to find the front door closed.

adj.(形容詞)

only用作形容詞表示“唯一的,僅有的”,可修飾單數(shù)名詞,也可修飾復(fù)數(shù)名詞。前面常加定冠詞the或形容詞性物主代詞。

當(dāng)only與另一個形容詞或數(shù)詞連用時, only要放在它們前面。

only除用于表示“獨生子女”外,一般不用在不定冠詞an之后。

adv.(副詞)

only用作副詞時,意思是“只,僅僅,才”。only還常用在名詞短語之前,尤其是用在以數(shù)量詞或數(shù)字起始的名詞短語之前,起強調(diào)作用。

only后可加動詞不定式結(jié)構(gòu)作結(jié)果狀語,表示“不料,結(jié)果卻”,多用于意外和不幸的場合。如果“only+動詞不定式”的結(jié)構(gòu)較長,可用逗號與前面的成分隔開。

“only+ v -ing”結(jié)構(gòu)也可用作結(jié)果狀語,通常表示一個自然的或意料之中的結(jié)果,意為“結(jié)果(只)是”,其前一般用逗號與前面的成分隔開。

only位于句首并修飾句子的狀語時,后面的句子要倒裝。

only用于將來時常常預(yù)示著不好的或不如意的事情發(fā)生。

adj.(形容詞)

only, single, sole

這三個詞都有“唯一的”意思。其區(qū)別在于：

1.single的意思是“單一的,單個的”,指不伴隨、不依傍、不參與其他事物。

2.only與單數(shù)可數(shù)名詞連用時意思是“唯一的”,與復(fù)數(shù)名詞連用時意思是“僅有的”。例如:

That is the only fault to be found with him.那是他身上挑得出來的唯一毛病。

We were the only women there.那兒的女生只有我們幾個。

3.sole強調(diào)“單獨的”,而且只考慮到單獨的一個。例如:

The sole survivor of the crash was a little baby.這次撞車的唯一幸存者是一個嬰兒。

He is the sales representative with sole responsibility for sales in the North East.他是負(fù)責(zé)東北地區(qū)銷售業(yè)務(wù)的銷售代表。

4.語義上, sole>single>only。

adv.(副詞)

only, alone

這兩個詞意思相同,常常可以通用,例如：

He knew it was impossible to accomplish it by individual effort only〔alone〕.他知道只靠個人努力是不能完成那件工作的。

它們之間的區(qū)別是：

1.在句中的位置不同：alone通常要放在它所修飾的詞語之后,而only卻可置于其前。例如：

只有他才能做這件事。

He alone can do it.

Only he can do it.

2.含義上也有區(qū)別：alone表示只此一個,別無其他,相當(dāng)于exclusively; 而only則暗示所指的事物有所限制,相當(dāng)于solely。例如：

Our farm alone sold 80,000 kilograms of wheat.

單是我們農(nóng)場就出售了八萬公斤小麥。

Only our farm sold 80,000 kilograms of wheat.

只有我們農(nóng)場出售了八萬公斤小麥。

第一句暗指其他農(nóng)場也出售了這么多甚至更多; 而第二句則暗指其他農(nóng)場沒有我們多。再如：

They alone sell cotton clothing.

他們獨家出售棉布服裝。

They only sell cotton clothing.

他們只售棉布服裝。(不售絲綢)
